| Why are HD downloads so expensive? Or in the case of downloads...put it on a server and count the money!Mauidj, That is what I was referring to as implying that distributing hi-res downloads is cheap and easy. It doesn't read that way to you?Anyway, enjoy the music you have or can ... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? I don't think that it is cheap or easy to set up an operation like HDTracks. If it is, compete with them, put them out of business and make a fortune.If downloads are too expensive for you, stick with your cds. It's OK. You've probably got a bunch... | |

| Mullard Tube Code Help You're welcome Mofi. I have a pdf of the codes that someone cleaned up that is much easier to read and understand than the ones that are copies of old booklets. I can email it to you if you send me an email. | |
| Mullard Tube Code Help A little additional info. F3 is the tube type. 1 (and 3) is the change code or version of the tube.B91 = Blackburn, 1959, Week 1In the early 60s they went to a 4 digit code that included a letter for the month. So,B8K3 = Blackburn, 1968, November,... | |
| What have you learned? Music servers are new technology and it will probably be a few years before things get sorted out. If the HP sounds better to you, I would use the HP. You can probably get most of the functions of the server installed on your HP.What model of HP a... | |
| PC Rules There are A/D converters and software for transferring lps to computers and servers and I'm sure there will be more and better ones as time goes on. I think that one day most audiophiles will think that digital (not cd) sounds better than vinyl. D... | |

| Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko? Mcrosier, Jock-A Mo is the original recorded in 1953 by James "Sugarboy" Crawford. He also gets credit for writing the song along with three women. He claims he never has received a royalty payment for it. Since it was released on the Chess label ... | |
| Tom Russell Anyone? Tom started out recording with a band, The Tom Russell Band, by coincidence; and they put out some great albums. "Poor Man's Dream" and "Road to Bayamon" are probably my favorites but they are all good. Same great songwriting but with a killer band. | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? I have to defend the Stones. Yeah they've been coasting since the early 70s and really need to hang it up before they become complete embarassments. However, very few rock bands have put out a string of 4 albums equal to Beggar's Banquet through E... | |
| Keeping up on new releases, reissues, etc. Pandora Radio is a source for new music, although a slow one. You can tailor the music you hear by clicking on like or dislike buttons as a tune plays. Over time you will hear artists you haven't heard before whose music is similar to music you al... | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? High res digital has a few different word lengths and sampling rates. Cd is 16/44.1. High res can be 24/88.2, 24/176.4, 24/96, 24/192.You need a DAC that can convert the different word length/sample rates to analog. There are many DACs available t... | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame A Rock n Roll Hall of Fame seems like a stupid idea to me and when you consider some of the people they have inducted I think its a badge of honor that the Moodies aren't in.By chance I came across a December 2003 Rolling Stone that featured "The ... | |
| Collecting software and other goodies? Limited edition items can appreciate in value significantly when they go out of print. The problem is they can drop in value even faster when a better sounding remastered or expanded version comes out. Investing in collectibles of any kind is tric... |
